• 2:57
  Regional Animal Control stated on Facebook, While

  we do not feel there is a need to panic, please

  be cautious when allowing pets outside. Animals
• 3:06
  displaying these symptoms, such as pawing over,
• 3:09
  stumbling, and showing seizure -like behavior,
• 3:12
  have been primarily spotted in downtown Athol
• 3:15
  and the Pendale and Pequig neighborhoods. The
• 3:18
  department has contacted several state agencies
• 3:21
  to investigate this illness. and recommends that
• 3:25
  pet owners ensure their pets are current on their

  rabies and distemper vaccinations. Anyone observing

  wildlife with unusual behavior is urged to contact

  the Athol Police Non -Emergency Line at 978 -249
• 3:41

• 3:52
  one win away from its first Super Regional in
• 3:55
  two decades. The Yellow Jackets have shown dominance
• 3:58
  in the Atlanta Regional during this tournament.
• 4:01
  Now the Oklahoma Sooners stand in their way for
• 4:04
  a final test in this historic season. In the
• 4:08
  box score for Georgia Tech, Burris has one hit
• 4:11
  and two runs batted in, while Zuckerman also
• 4:14
  has two runs batted in. For Oklahoma, Lechance
• 4:18
  leads with one hit and four runs batted in, followed
• 4:22
  by Brock with three runs batted in. This matchup
• 4:26
  promises to be an exciting battle. In local sports,
• 4:30
  the Red Sox are back on track after taking the
• 4:33
  series in Cleveland yesterday 9 -4. Ranger Suarez
• 4:39
  was short for five innings, striking out 10,
• 4:42
  while the bullpen held firm. Jaron Duran went
• 4:46
  deep and drove in a run. Masataka Yoshida had

  with momentum heading home. They open a three
• 5:04
  -game set against Baltimore tomorrow night at
• 5:06
  Fenway with Connelly early on the mound against
• 5:09
  Shane Bass. First pitch is 6 -45. The bad news,
• 5:16
  Garrett Crochet hit another speed bump in his
• 5:19
  recovery. Soreness in his throwing program forced
• 5:22
  the team to cancel live hitters yesterday, pushing
• 5:25
  his return to mid -July at the earliest. The
• 5:29
  ace was already behind schedule and now faces
• 5:32
  at least two more minor league rehab starts once
• 5:35
  he resumes throwing. Meanwhile, Joe Mazzulla
• 5:38
  has been named NBA Coach of the Year. The Celtics
• 5:42
  coach led Boston to 56 and the two seed, despite
• 5:47
  Jason Tatum, missing most of the season with
• 5:50
  an Achilles injury. At 37, Mazula is the youngest
• 5:55
  to win since 1975. He actually said the award
• 6:00
  was stupid back in March, but here we are. On
• 6:04
  the gridiron, the Patriots and Eagles are working
• 6:07
  the phones. A .G. Brown could be headed to New
• 6:11
  England, if both sides agree on compensation.
• 6:14
  The June 1st deadline is today, and a framework
• 6:17
  is reportedly in place for a trade that would
• 6:20
  pair the receiver with MVP runner -up Drake May.
• 6:25
  In top news, New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani
• 6:30
  did not attend an annual parade honoring Israel
• 6:33
  on Sunday, breaking with a decade's long political
• 6:36
  custom because of his support for Palestinian
• 6:39
  rights. Though the parade has gone by different
• 6:42
  names, it has always been a must -attend event
• 6:45
  for political leaders eager to win over flag
• 6:48
  -waving revelers. Two weeks ago, the mayor's
• 6:51
  office released a video commemorating the Napa,
• 6:54
  describing the displacement of an estimated 700
• 6:57
  ,000 Palestinians during the 1948 Arab -Israeli
• 7:02
  war. Mamdani stated, I said on the campaign trail
• 7:06
  that I wouldn't be attending the parade. and
• 7:08
  I've made my views on the Israeli government
• 7:10
  abundantly clear. The mayor's absence has fueled
• 7:14
  criticism from those who view his stance as anti
• 7:17
  -Semitic. In business news, Berkshire Hathaway
• 7:22
  agreed Sunday to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison
• 7:25
  Home in a $6 .8 billion deal, deepening the conglomerate's
• 7:31
  bet on the United States housing market after
• 7:34
  a prolonged downturn. The Omaha, Nebraska -based
• 7:37
  company will pay $72 per share in cash for Taylor
• 7:41
  Morrison, representing a 24 % premium to the
• 7:46
  home builder's closing price on May 29th. This
• 7:50
  acquisition, expected to close in the second
• 7:52
  half of 2026, marks one of the first major strategic
• 7:57
  deals under Warren Buffett's successor, Greg
• 7:59
  Abel. Berkshire is acquiring a best -in -class
• 8:03
  national home builder. which suggests positioning
• 8:06
  for a recovery in housing demand despite elevated
• 8:09
  mortgage rates. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is
• 8:14
  up 1 % over the weekend to just under $74 ,000.

  Ethereum is up 1 % to $2 ,000. And XRP is up
• 8:25
  2 % to $1 .33. Moving on to a more local vibe.

  Let's talk science. June welcomes summer, bringing
• 9:21
  long, sweltering days and brief nights, perfect
• 9:25
  for stargazing. This month highlights a conjunction
• 9:28
  of Jupiter and Venus. along with the summer solstice
• 9:31
  and the full strawberry moon. On June 9, Jupiter
• 9:36
  and Venus will be at their closest, visible above
• 9:39
  the northwestern horizon just after sunset. June
• 9:43
  21 marks the summer solstice, the longest day
• 9:46
  of the year, resulting from Earth's tilted orbital
• 9:49
  axis. Finally, the full strawberry moon will
• 9:53
  rise on June 29, named by various Native American
• 9:56
  nations. June 30th celebrates Asteroid Day, reminding
• 10:01
  us of the significant impact Earth has avoided
• 10:04
  for over a century. And in entertainment news,
• 10:11
  Hulu's 83 % Rotten Tomatoes sci -fi series is
• 10:16
  dominating Netflix charts globally, just days
• 10:19
  after arriving on the streaming giant, and its
• 10:21
  momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Its
• 10:25
  spinoff, which recently ended its first season
• 10:28
  with a game -changing finale, has partly contributed
• 10:31
  to the renewed success, alongside the show's
• 10:34
  consistently powerful episodes. The Handmaid's
• 10:38
  Tale, created by Bruce Miller, was the first
• 10:40
  streaming series ever to win the Emmy for Outstanding
• 10:43
  Drama Series. Set in a dystopian society, Julia
• 10:47
  treats women as state property, forcing fertile
• 10:51
  women into childbearing servitude. The series
• 10:55
  has surged on Netflix, ranking among the top
• 10:58
  10 most watched shows in various international
• 11:00
  territories. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
• 11:05
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 11:09
  comes from the American comic book writer and
• 11:12
  editor, Stan Lee. And he said, With great power,
• 11:17
  there must also come great responsibility, reminding
• 11:20
  us that those who possess strength or influence
• 11:23
  must use it wisely and for the greater good.
